Have MobileOrg load up various Org files for you to view on your iPhone. 2. Use the Capture menu to capture a ToDo into (I think) fromMobile.org. 3. Make *NO* changes to the Org files loaded in #1. 4. Refile the capture ToDo items later on your PC after you've pulled the information from MobileOrg. If this is the usage pattern, then MobileOrg is not very useful for a couple of reasons: First, the ability to view your Org files on your iPhone can probably be accomplished by exporting your Org files to OPML and then pulling the OPML files into an outliner on your iPhone. In fact, the OPML translation might give you more capabilities in that you could readily edit your Org file on iOS using the OPML outliner. I think you can import OPML files into Org-Mode, right? Second, better integration with org-toodledo would allow the Org file to be imported into Toodledo. Then you could use the various Toodledo Apps to add/modify/delete ToDos before reintegrating them into Org. I think that the current org-toodledo capability has a couple of problems with respect to Org: 1. Org allows multi-level hierarchies whereas Toodledo only supports one level currently. 2. Org-Toodledo (I think) only supports one Tasks file and, so, there would need to be some sort of linking between files on the Org side. These issues might be overcome and make for a more complete integration between Org and iOS (and Android?). -- David Masterson Programmer At Large
